Open Mind

doubting his beliefs in meditations were because he wanted to prove a scientific method, he wanted to prove that true knowledge came from the mind and not in the sense. Descartes spent a lot of time separating the world into two substances using only the mind and body. He says science truth is made up of our body and religious truths deal with the soul and mind. His biggest question was can something be true if it can be doubted? He became a skeptic and started doubting everything to find the…

While they are expanding their minds they begin to open up and view the world around them and try to put it into a situation that they have never been through. It is important for us to be able to understand the mind of a child, since they are at the critical stages that will affect them as an adult. Around the age of four the child heads to the next stage that they move into…

On November 30th, I attended my last first year experience event; I attended the post-election discussion. This was by far the most interesting presentation I have been to. During this presentation, many topics were discussed about negativity and violence. It was a panel of people talking about their opinions on this historical and political election. As said in the beginning, one professor stated, “a man’s last name has now become simonious with negative change.” He said this was a problem…

Individuals change their minds due to many reasons. One being intuition and what they feel on the inside. If something doesn’t accumulate or feel right, they can begin questioning what they know and whether or not it is true. Something brought up in an individual’s environment could also alter the way they think about something. For instance, having a lot of new and improved evidence can lead one to rethink what they already know. Their reasoning is usually backed up with evidence, and when more…

of God is omnipotent and omniscient. Because God is absolute in knowing what will happen, it must happen. Otherwise the Nature of God would be flawed. God is infallible to DesCartes. However, the mental processes are open for the individual to freely choose his or her state of mind. For the Dualist there is an assumption that we have free will simple because it is “evident”. Because we have the ability to doubt in general, but specifically ability to conceive and maybe accept an omniscient…

My research views the different aspects of our thought process and how that correlates with our cognitive abilities to interpret and implement solutions in a strategic manner. Strategy is three-dimensional that is composed of the process, content and context, (Wit, & Meyer, 2010). Each dimension identifies different elements of strategy providing a circular structure that flows in a synergistic manner. Strategy process defines the who, where and when aspect of strategy which provides a…

Introduction When I was on a train, I started a conversation with a woman and excitably described a new state of mind. I told her my life had improved after I employed a different system of thought. At the beginning, she was dubious of my motives and asked “You’re not a scientologist, are you?” My mental fog had cleared, a metaphysical understanding took its place and our brief conversation influenced me to find more ways to articulate it. The initial reasoning behind this report was to have my…

Fear will always be stronger in our mind then if it were to happen to us in real life. These fears will be bothersome until we act upon them. Some fears are greater than others and will be harder to overcome. Younger tells how nothing is certain the unexpected make come while the expected…

For my writing assignment I chose “My Beloved Brontosaurus”. This was such an interesting read to me because I feel as if he put so much effort and thought into it. For example he starts off the book by saying, “From the time I was a toddler, I desperately wanted to meet the gigantic herbivore.” He has had this interest clearly since he was a child and he goes into such depth about it. Many people feel otherwise as well. “My Beloved Brontosaurus” has many reviews including some from NY Times.…

if he hadn't opened it, or had seen what he believed was the probable cause for his horrific experience. His mind like a broken VHS tape that repeatedly plays back to that day, where it all commenced. It was a quarter to five, with a clear sunny sky with the fresh gust flowed through the air of a full-summer day; petals…
